soft serve stuff, i know. this sounds so much like esa ruoho it's crazy, but i like it better than esa's stuff (except for his contribution to merck's ambient comp aurora, which is beautiful and harsh but not in a cliched fenneszy/timhecker way https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IFD7wFgurLE

I just found out about this guy recently from one of the campus radio stations and it's really cool, interesting stuff. I haven't really broken down his tuning system but I do like how it sounds. I've been listening to his latest release on Bandcamp. He's got a huge catalogue, though. Any tips on where to start with it? I see nakh and clouds were into this five years ago.

I don’t know how to embed from zing. I had a surprisingly hard time finding Pub’s Summer. Surely that one was a classic. Shocked Pub never released anything else.Also loved Global Goon’s Vatican Nitez - especially Stan’s Slaves. Not sure if it qualifies as lost or classic.Another favorite of the era is Savath & Savalas’ Folk Songs for Trains, Trees, and Honey which is easy to find on Youtube so again I guess not lost anymore than the genre itself is.

Not sure how lost or classic this is, it's only from 2012 but it is a lot like melodic early 90s Black Dog. The album is really nice if a bit unfocussed; The producer's thing is mostly Detroit-inspired techno in funny / shifting time signatures.
https://youtu.be/cbI7JOwkC5A
I did a couple of computer music releases around the turn of the millennium IDM glut era, one of which is very lost, surely only a handful of copies got out there. The production is rough but the ideas still good, I think. Using generative and evolutionary processes for melodies and rhythms (but 'playing' the systems) and lots of granular synthesis and that. Probably slightly more fun than that sounds ;-)

the stuff as astrobotnia and ovuca is twinkly clicky early 00s
as aleksi perala, the mental union 2CD album is really fantastic, lots of breakbeat and acid references
MU3 (as AP Musik) might be his most perfect album overall, just beautiful minimal compositions
all the colundi sequence albums are worth hearing at least, but there's so many of them that they blur together somewhat. really cool minimalist techno, kind of like a chiller jeff mills.

Usually when this thread is bumped I question whether I ever really liked IDM at all. That was pretty good though, except for the people humming tunelessly and groaning grotesquely in the background.

i'm going to get all street-team about dennis busch's work as james din a4/ pop dylan / krieghelm hundewasser etc, which never really seems to get much recognition. goofy mushroomsy kraut skank like MoM / schlammpeitziger but with malfunctioning casio / deep house M & A Oehlen undercurrents. no mean gothy metal minor key "my algorithm beats yours" but crosswired jimmy jam & terry lewis with woozin drones & shit presets. sadly the pingipung "best of" & the jan jelinek mix set on faitiche don't concentrate on the more wayward aspects but hey ho. check some out

I absolutely kick myself for not picking up ESEL 03 when browsing in a Copenhagen record shop a few years ago. All Dennis Busch records should be buy on sight. Miss Kittin mixes in his 'Flaming Creature' with Madonna's 'Material Girl (extended mix)' on her '@ Fritz Love Radio - Love Parade 2001' mix.. devastating.

Who was I listening to a while back? Interloper. I can't remember why. Their/his debut album Augur would have fit right in with Warp's Artificial Intelligence series, albeit that it came out in 1996, so it sounds a bit out-of-date. The later albums were apparently trip-hop / downtempo, but the debut was a bit like Ginger or very early Autechre. But a few years too late, which might be why it's so obscure. Also the discogs photo makes him look like Steve Winwood, which is wrong. If you want to be a successful electronic musician you have to be thin and young. Can I make a Youtube video appear in this post? Let's see.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k-uwhTw92pM
That was easier than I expected / a complete failure (delete as applicable).

New Proswell for pre-order! First in over a decade apparently.
https://schematicmusiccompany.bandcamp.com/album/gain
(I've only heard that one preview track but I'm excited so I thought I'd give it a plug. Hadn't realised Schematic was still putting stuff out, and looks like it's not all the hypertechnical glitch stuff of old if Proswell and Crash Course In Science are on there - any other recommendations from their bandcamp?)

Aw this is nice:
String Theory's 2002 Anhedonia EP CD/download available now on Bandcamp.
We found a box of Anhedonia CDs in a dark corner of the basement, and having seen some renewed interest in this album from the internet, we've made it available for purchase and download for the first time in many years.
2002 was an amazing time for Chicago's close-knit electronic/IDM scene. For a brief moment, before the bottom dropped out of the physical record industry, there was magic happening in Chicago every weekend. The epicenter was Bob and Ray-Rod's Monday night "Play" residency at Danny's. Weekend Records and Soap was the lemon-scented retail HQ and a magnetic hub for in-store performers from locals as well as artists from Detroit and Berlin. Pete Toalson and Tom Windish were bringing Warp and Rephlex artists to the Empty Bottle.
Anhedonia (crl002) was the second release from Chicago's much-too-briefly-extant Consumers Research and Development Label. We are still grateful to Geoffrey and Jodi for putting the effort and cash into documenting this wonderful moment in Chicago.
We hope you’ll take a moment to experience this document of a more optimistic time.

Thanks for the CiM heads-up, picked it up on bandcamp last night! Not listened properly yet but am a big fan of "Reference" so I'm looking forward to it.
(not IDM but) the new John Beltran also on the Delsin bandcamp sounded good too but I was running out of time to preview things.
Churchill/Desantis is a good vibe, thanks! And I remember checking out that Boulderdash album way back when but it's sounding better today than I remembered, plus I see that after not putting anything out between 2001-2016 there have been 5 new albums since, including one just a week ago, so I've got a lot to catch up on.

He has a fair amount of obscure gems. His album with Mike P is excellent, and there's the two late 90s ambient albums on fax which feature some absolutely stellar DX-7 action.

non-obscure gems, too! i recently picked up "ginger" and "g spot" on cd (used). hadn't listened in decades, somehow remembered it as much more ... techno? in a luke slater vein or something. they're definitely not what i'd call "idm" but fit in nicely with the rest of the "artificial intelligence" crew. i particularly like the "world music" touches (sort of along the lines of what black dog or ken ishii were up to) and the "speedy j !ive" CD that came as a bonus w/ this particular edition of "g-spot"
― the late great, Monday, 26 September 2022 19:41 (one year ago) link
i'd never heard that remix. i remember loving "public energy no. 1" when it came out, another one i haven't listened to in decades. i was really really into lfo's "advance" in 96/97 and can recall thinking that he'd clearly been influenced it, or trying to better it. i think at the time i had difficulty telling the difference between the uk electronic music press and what i imagined was a cohesive, global "intelligent techno" scene, so nowadays i'm a lot less likely to buy into the idea that this producer is reacting to that producer or w/e, but there's definite mark bell vibes in that remix!
